The Rasmus 35 was designed by the leading Swedish designer of elegant yachts of the 1960s, Olle Enderlein.760 boats were made between 1967 and 1978. The first two Rasmus were built entirely in mahogany and took one year each to construct. From hull number 3 both the hull and the superstructure were made of GRP. The name "Rasmus" is German and means God of Winds. The design of the Rasmus 35 was in many ways ahead of its time. It was the first sailing yacht in the world with a windscreen. That made her centre cockpit very well protected, keeping with elegant lines. The Rasmus 35 also has a powerful engine. All these important basic points, together with timeless lines makes this yacht pleasing still today and she will also be as attractive in 10 or 20 or 30 years from now. In other words, this is a genuine Hallberg-Rassy.

Association for Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35 ownersThe Rasmus has been awarded its own association. The name is "Rasmusklubben" (The Rasmus Club) and already has many members. The club organises meetings both at sea in the summer and onshore in the wintertime to encourage interchange of hints and experiences.
